Unwelcome
May I be blessed with Grace.
May I be willing to open to all facets of this human experience,
And may I have the ability to welcome
Those aspects of myself that have felt most unwelcome…
The parts of myself that hold the most pain,
The parts that feel shunned by myself and by others,
The parts that never see the light of day…
May I learn to unconditionally Love
All the ones that feel so unwelcome
and undeserving of love.
May I be courageous enough to choose Love
Over and over again
When I am faced with hatred and fear,
Both within and without.
May I be a beacon of light and Love
For all those who suffer in similar ways,
And may I provide shelter
For my sisters who carry the pain
Of feeling unloved and uncared for
In their hearts.
And so it is.
